Know-How Exchange : SEO/SEM

I think it is, but am also considering that you probably don't have much choice (the ezines likely wouldn't publish your article if it is filled with your URLs).

You may be able to get some added links inside the article if you have case studies or white papers on our site that support what the article is on, and could be reference material for people who read the article and what more info.

I have heard that some search engines also track who you link to from your site. So if these articles are published in Ezines that are good for you, you should have a section on your web site that links back to them.

This is similar to an answer of mine that was accepted earlier.

You should submit to more than just ezinearticles.com, although it is the best in my opinion.

Here are the ones I recommend taking the time to submit to:
https://www.ezinearticles.com/
https://www.goarticles.com/
https://www.articlecity.com/
https://www.ideamarketers.com/
https://www.searchwarp.com/
https://www.articledepot.co.uk/
https://www.buzzle.com/
https://www.articledashboard.com/

And I recommend https://www.isnare.com/ to handle the automated submissions to the smaller and less important articles directories. It if very affordable, a few bucks for each article.

Of course that is not enough when you are trying to rank for competitive terms, but it should be part of your SEO process. I have a link on my blog to other creative linking idea sites. It is worth a look:

And, obviously, blogging will help as I have done on my site.

Thanks all for taking the time to answer my question.

It's only worthwhile submitting to ezinearticles.com and isnare.com distribution service unless you have a specialist high-value website that you can submit to.

Re. Ezine Articles it's imerative that you have 3 links in your author bio - an http based non-HTML link to your home page, an HTML keyword link to your home page and an HTML keyword link to an internal page.
